Christ is The End of The Law

Description

Christ is The End of The Law

This powerful painting depicts Jesus Christ on the cross, with weeping women standing around him. The dramatic light and dark contrasts used by the artist serve to emphasize sorrow and sacrifice. The veiled drapings and stylized faces impart a spiritual and nearly theatrical quality, underscoring the holy act of crucifixion and both the pain that Christ has suffered and the pain that his believers have been forced to witness.
